Visionary Mourns
« on: August 26, 2009, 08:01:04 AM »
Over the past several years, we have had the pleasure of sponsoring the TCBA, one of, if not the largest traveling leagues in the world.  Yesterday, we lost the president and personal friend of mine, Joe Cramer, to complications arising from the treatment of Leukemia.

Joe was not only a great ambassador to bowling, but also one of the finest individuals that I ever had a chance to meet.  A strong military man, loving husband and father, Joe always put family, friends, and country before all else.  

Although I didn't get to spend alot of time with Joe, we spoke on the phone and through email alot, and he always had a story or joke that left me smiling.  Even when his health was in question, he seemed to have a great outlook on life and always kept his sense of humor.

Joe, thank you for everything, and may God raise you up to dance with the Angels.  We will miss you.

My condolences, Jason.  I didn't know the guy personally, but if a wonderful person like Jason is speaking out in respect, then he must have been a great man. RIP

I knew Joe in the same sense many of the TCBA bowlers knew him.....saw him, said Hi, little chat, life went on.  But I will say that for a man going through the things he's been going through for the last couple years, he was at the TCBA functions and performed his job all day, every day.

TCBA tournaments ran from morning until late at night and you could find Joe at the alleys for all 12-15 of the hours it took to go the day.

Very nice individual.....was very sorry to hear the news.
